Fire breaks out at a facility in Russia's Krasnodar region as result of drone attack, authorities says

Russian Communist Party officials allege that half a million votes were falsified in Krasnodar Krai during the September 18-20 State Duma elections. According to Alexander Safronov, secretary of the Krasnodar regional committee of Russia’s Communist Party, ballots cast in the first days of voting were allegedly kept in secure containers and not immediately tallied.

Camera footage from a polling station in Yubileiny neighborhood shows a ballot swap overnight. The safe's seal was found to be forged, leading to the annulment of those ballots. As a result, the KPRF received 41.5% of the party-list vote at that precinct, compared to 19.8% for United Russia and 19.1% for New People. The Central Election Commission reports United Russia secured approximately 60% of the federal party-list vote in Krasnodar Krai, while the KPRF, coming in second, received about 16%.
